Handmade Furniture Personalisation Guide

Personalised handmade sofa, luxury sofa bed or quality bed

We want to make tailoring and ordering your furniture as relaxing as possible. In this guide we’ll walk you through our personalisation options and help you design your own piece of British handmade furniture.

Our furniture collections have all been designed with style and comfort in mind. Discover your ideal style of design below, and explore our dimensions & delivery guide to ensure your design will fit in your home.

  •  With a contemporary twist, these on-trend designs will complement any modern space or provide a visual contrast to a more traditional home.

     
  •  Our classic designs celebrate simple shapes and British heritage to create classic furniture that looks beautiful in any home.

     
  •  Taking style cues from the 1950s and 1960s, these designs work perfectly in either a modern or more vintage aesthetic.

If you need more help deciding which of our beautiful Luxury Sofa Beds, handmade sofas or Luxury Armchairs will fit best in your home we’ve collated all the dimensions for our designs, by collection, in our dimensions & delivery guide along with expert tips for measuring your home and doorways.

Our collections consist of handpicked fabrics from the finest mills in Britain, Belgium and Italy. We understand that choosing your fabric is about more than just the colour and texture, so we’ve worked hard to find beautiful fabrics that are also hard-wearing and, in some cases, stain resistant. Discover our collections below and explore our curated edit of handpicked fabrics.

If you’ve got a busy household then we’d recommend our House collection. With high rub-counts and made from 100% manmade fibres, this collection will stand the test of time whatever family life throws at it.

When choosing your Handmade Sofa Beds, Luxury Sofas or Handmade Armchairs to relax on it is important to select a seat which gives you the right sit. We understand that comfort is subjective, so we’ve handpicked three seat cushions of varying firmness and bounce for you to choose from. Discover the difference between each of our seat cushions below.

  • REFLEX FOAM

    + £X

    Our reflex foam seat cushions hold their shape very well, so require no plumping or maintenance. Because of this these cushions look particularly beautiful when chosen with more modern and formal designs. If you prefer to sit a little more upright with a bouncier seat, rather than sinking down into the cushions, then we’d recommend you choose reflex foam.

    SQUISHINESS = 1 | BOUNCINESS = 3
    LOVE REQUIRED = 1 | TAILORED LOOK = 3
    1 = least 2 = average 3 = most

  • SILICONIZED HOLLOW FIBRE

    + £X

    Our siliconized hollow fibre seat cushions have a fuller appearance than our reflex foam and are softer to sit on. They have fibres sewn individually in channels throughout them, to keep the filling evenly spread within the cushions. This helps the cushions keep their shape but will require a quick plumping once a fortnight.

    SQUISHINESS = 3 | BOUNCINESS = 2
    LOVE REQUIRED = 2 | TAILORED LOOK = 1
    1 = least 2 = average 3 = most

  • FEATHER-WRAPPED FOAM

    + £X

    Our feather-wrapped foam seat cushions also have a fuller appearance and are our softest cushion option to sit on. They are filled with luxury duck feathers, also sewn into channels to help the cushions keep their shape. These feathers make for a very dense cushion, perfect for sinking into. They will require plumping 2-3 times a week to hold their shape and comfort.

    SQUISHINESS = 3 | BOUNCINESS = 1
    LOVE REQUIRED = 3 | TAILORED LOOK = 1
    1 = least 2 = average 3 = most

    Nothing is more important when choosing your sofa bed, sofa or armchair than selecting the right seat cushions. We understand that comfort is subjective, so we’ve handpicked three seat cushions of varying firmness and bounce for you to choose from. Our seat cushions are handmade with love and care using the finest materials, perfect for relaxing on. Discover the difference between each of our unique cushions below…

We are proud to create handmade sofa bed mattresses which friends and family will actually look forward to sleeping on. We’ve designed three luxury mattresses for you to personalise your sofa bed with.

  • Open Sprung

    Our sofa beds can be personalised with our signature W&H open sprung mattress. This luxurious 14cm deep mattress is handmade from multiple layers of bouncy upholstery and insulator layers, with a hand-quilted Irish damask cover. Inside you’ll find individual heat treated British open coil springs, perfect to support you whilst you sleep.

  • Pocket Sprung

    For an even more relaxing night’s sleep you can upgrade your sofa bed mattress to our 14cm deep pocket sprung mattress. Each of the springs work independently, meaning they can contour to your body shape for an even better sleep. They are ideal if two people will be sharing the sofa bed regularly as they reduce movement across the mattress.

  • Memory Foam

    Our memory foam mattress is our most luxurious choice and adapts seamlessly to your body shape, providing maximum support for a relaxing night’s sleep. Covered in beautiful Belgian damask, which dissipates moisture to keep you cool, our 12cm memory foam mattress is ideal if you have a bad back or want to relieve joint pressure while you sleep.

We are passionate about personalisation, so as well as choosing your design, fabric, cushions and mattress, we also offer some finishing touches for a truly tailored piece of furniture.

  • REMOVABLE ARMS

    If you have a tight space and are worried about the delivery of your sofa or sofa bed, then removable arms can help. The arms will be expertly fitted to your furniture in your room of choice by our white-glove delivery team.

  • MATCHING CUSHIONS

    For a beautiful, tailored finish to your furniture we recommend ordering matching cushions. These our handmade from the same fabric roll and are the perfect finishing touch.

  • STAIN PROOFING

    In-built stain protection

    We’ve handpicked some fabrics with built in stain protection or FibreGuard stain guard. All common household stains can be easily removed with just a little water on these stain resistant fabrics.


    Staingard protection

    We offer Staingard protection on all our fabrics. This protection plan is for 5 years and covers your furniture against accidental spills, stains, pet scratches, damage and more.


    Discover more about our stain resistant fabrics and Staingard here.

  • CUSHION COVERS

    Removable covers

    Nearly all our designs have removable cushion covers, so they can easily be washed or cleaned to remove any stains.


    Extra cushion covers

    You can also purchase extra removable covers when you place your order to have a spare set made from the same fabric roll, or at a later date if you have a stubborn stain that can’t be removed.

All of our beautiful fabrics can also be ordered by the metre if you are looking to co-ordinate other upholstery in your home. Call our experts with your required meterage and they can place your order directly with the mill.
